Pros
Fast-paced 4 days a week in the office (employees love this, right?)
Cons
There’s an overriding "growth at all costs" mentality, which means unrealistic deadlines, constantly shifting priorities, and little regard for work-life balance or employee wellbeing. Communication between departments or from leadership is practically nonexistent. No one really has any clue what’s going on at any one time. Employees are occasionally drip-fed information but are otherwise deliberately kept in the dark about what’s going on. The lack of transparency creates a toxic atmosphere of uncertainty and anxiety. The organisational structure ensures you remain in a silo, whether you’re an individual or part of a team. Note how the positive reviews here give a more rose-tinted view of this aspect, where being siloed is in fact a form of ‘autonomy’. They’re only kidding themselves. It’s simply a failure of leadership to, well, actually lead and build connections between teams. HR exists only as a figurehead, with no real authority or power to be of service to the employees. This is highly convenient for leadership because it allows them to avoid accountability when things start to go wrong. God forbid the employees should start asking questions.
